Thrice To Take A Break
By Paul Gibson | November 21st, 2011
Thrice is not breaking up. If nothing has broken us up by now, I doubt anything ever could.
However, we will be taking a break from being a full-time band, and the upcoming tour in the Spring will be the last one for the foreseeable future.
Playing music for the past 13 years with Riley, Ed, and Teppei has been such a gift. We have been able to see the world, share music with thousands and thousands of people, and make records with a variety of talented and inspiring people. The four of us have been through many highs and lows and overcome them together. I value their friendship, and it has been a great priviledge to play alongside them for so long. They are truly an amazingly gifted group of people, and the ways we’ve grown together as people and musicians has been a joy to experience.

This Week’s Guest: Nine Lashes
By Paul Gibson | November 8th, 2011
Jeremy Dunn, lead vocalist for the band Nine Lashes will be our guest on this week’s show. They were only the second independent band we ever had on the show when they called in last. Of course that was 2009 and a lot has changed. They are now on Tooth And Nail records and are touring with I Am Empire and Blood And Water across the United States. Their Tooth And Nail debut will come out in February and there is plenty of buzz about it already. Their latest single Anthem For The Lonely was #1 on last week’s CR20 countdown so tune in to see if it makes it again.
It should prove to be a fun interview and we’ll catch up on what the band has been up to. Don’t miss it!
